I am the administrator of this PC. Who, what or how do I get permission to erase this disk?

G'Day.
If the TAKEOWN command I mentioned doesn't do the trick, there's another command:
ICACLS.EXE
For more info, see:
Modify NTFS file system permissions using Icacls.exe utility for Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 2/Vista | Windows Reference

NOTE: This works with Vista *AND* Windows Server.
